Nice little mods list. It's not the best looking right now though. You'll need a little work to get it up to speed with mine.

P.S. I didn't think an Altima was small enough for the lip to match up, it isn't my style, but it's cool to think you can used whole car bumpers as lips.

02-16-2009, 04:54 PM
had to split in the center and narrow like 8 inches... factory lower was smiling so just went down to the body shop dumpster and found a scuffed altima bumper, didnt know if it was gonna fit till it was done... i can also rip it off on a curb and go get another for 0 dollars... i would like to do a street port and holley but im a broke mechanic that is always working on other peoples stuff. i think my 1/4 was like 15.9 so yeah its not really fast.. but in its defense, traction was an issue. its very light in the rear, and with the stiff springs, there is no weight transfer on launch.

Sorry if I came off as an ass, but yeah with these cars, speed isn't everything, cause the fun to drive factor is really high.

No, everyone paints cars flat black, it looks like shit and it's a lazy cheap way to "finish a car's appearance" (sorry, I am aware you painted your FCs flat black but I still say flat black looks like shit).

SKarpenz
02-23-2009, 12:02 PM
I agree with the above. Flat black on a car to make it look good is crap. I just wash my faded red and I think it looks fantastic for now. :D

flat black looks really good if its not done in a shitty way.

Well yeah, but hten it becomes a regular budget paintjob, I'm talking about flat black when you have no money. Primer flat, not correctly mixed even professional flat black. Hell even the rustolium $50 paint job with wet sanding blows cheap-person's flat black out of the water.

nisman
02-24-2009, 01:37 PM
i spent 150$ on the sem hotrod flat black paint, it shouldnt look anything like rattle can. i like the look, but i have mixed opinions about the color now that it is like the new "baller" thing to do like rob dyrdek's tahoe for example. but from the aspect of what i like without considering the current trends, it will probably be satin-ish flat black whenever i get the time to go over that rough ass body oh yeah the wheels are already black... i guess im a ricer.. so shoot me.

that'll look good if you clean it up a bit before you spray then.

How did you come up with the idea for the Altima lip? I've never heard of anything like that.

I personally like the way it looks now.....and since I consulted everyone that mattered in a poll on this topic....Me, I have a 100% approval rating.

tack311. he's had a hard on for it for a while... he finally found my soft spot... M30....

tack311
03-25-2010, 11:03 AM
Yes,it is true. My hard on is still raging for this car even though my neighbors complain on an almost daily basis about the noise and gas fumage. It is an absolute blast to drive though,so f*** my neighbors. I do have a few plans for this one,and can't wait to put the V8 in it. :ninja:

































Like pistons would ever go in this ...well maybe if I had some shipped to the P.O. box and I was driving it when I got the mail that day,then I guess they would go in it. Never under the hood though,unless I made a small luggage rack under the hood and put stuff in it such as mail. Moral of the story is....NO PISTON POWER!

DVSRX-7,nisman decided to try a couple things on it tonight and I think it will be a while before I sell it. :yes:

Used some wheel acid to clean them up and they look 100% better. Plus we started buffing the passenger quarter panel and the paint will shine. Can't wait to do the rest of it!

Update 03/27/2010

Began the real clean up today. nisman and myself put it to the 7 today.Began by washing it with some strong cleaner. Next we wet sanded from the molding line to the roof. Time started to run short so,we only got a small section of the front of the car buffed. Half the hood and driver fender. I cannot wait to finish the rest of it! I am not a photog by any means,so pics are not the best.

what size and offset are the wheels?

imo it would look better with out the "front lip"

tack311
03-28-2010, 06:13 PM
The wheels are 15x8 with a ridiculous -45 offset. I am actually looking for a GSL-SE parts car so I can get the 4x114.3 lug pattern and more importantly the axle and bigger brakes. I like the Altima bumper,sets it apart from the other FB's around.
